How do you know your graduating student nominee?
I’m her mom
Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!
It’s not an easy task to do for years of High School with no electives such as the fun fillers you get to do as a high school student. She had to take college classes all 4 years in order to graduate with her associates. Danalis also took on Cheer, went to Spain’s for two weeks to study abroad, is Class Historian and was the Spanish Club President her junior year, currently in the softball team.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?
Danalis is an amazing kid, has worked so hard these 4 years and manage to stay above water through all the chalk that were sent her way.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Danalis!
